Not a Hillary supporter, but I was wondering what happens tonight if Hillary wins these 4 states and declares herself the "big winner" who "can't be stopped." The spinners will be out in force.

Will the Obama camp be dissappointed without a victory in these states?

3. No doubt, but she'll spin and trumper her "triumph" no matter what
Obama needs to only make it close in those states. I think he will win California and New Jersey and make it respectable in the rest. If he does this, then he will be very tough to beat.

4. "Will the Obama camp be dissappointed without a victory in these states?"
NY- No, if he can break 40% that will be a victory especially if Clinton is under 35% in IL
NJ- No, if it's close, within 5 points
CA- Yes, a close win by Clinton here still gives her bragging rights about carrying the largest state.

But the race is in the delegates and it will be 10-20 difference between the two I'm guessing at the end of tonight's results.

5. She's SUPPOSED to win all four of those states.
That would be like Obama bragging about winning Kansas, Illinois, and Georgia.

12. He Also Lost Every Single State South Of Maryland
If I remember correctly he carried almost all of the ten most populous states and lost almost everything else...

9. Obama, the petulant, will whine, sucking up all the media air, as usual.

10. She is expected to win those states by a large margin
I can't see any scenario in which she would lose.

The Clinton people have been manufacturing this as a close match-up. It's not. Hillary will win the vast majority of these states today.

11. One of Hillary's best strengths is allowing her opponent(s) to save face.
She does not gloat.

She does not engage in petty mockery of others, like some people do:

IMHO, there will be no clear front runner when today's results are in.
